DIY BRICK WALKWAY : HOW TO INSTALL ACCENT PAVERS 

Just a quick mention: If your 45 degree corners aren’t perfect to your expectations, grind some brick dust and lay a bead of clear caulking along the joint. As the caulk to shrink and set-up you can sprinkle the dust into the joint and it will make your cut appear virtually invisible. Play around with it and you’ll get a nice looking mitre.

Question (unrelated to your channel): I've noticed that you have a speech impediment. Do you get help w it? My son is 13 and has been in speech therepy for years but it hasn't helped him at all. Have you always had a speech impediment? Has anything worked to improve it? Genuinely asking and I hope this doesn't get taken the wrong way. This video is two years old and in your more recent videos, you talk more clearly but it's still there. What's changed?

This was a real diy cue to professionally tamping with shoes. All in all good video tho i would have used a level

O M G after searching for freaking weeks I FINALLY found a video that is EXACTLY what I am looking for!!! So my grandfather has a cement patio that was surrounded with a TON of weeds etc. My grandpa had 2 heart attacks and fell and can no longer work on the backyard like he wanted to. Me being a girl lol and someone who has never done landscaping before..I though " screw that! I can do anything " I busted my butt and I removed all of the weeds and other debris..it took me awhile. I finally was able to afford material for the border I wanted to create around the concrete patio. At first I used a weed killer, weed preventive fabric and then placed edging against the cement of the patio. My first thought was to put down the quick dry concrete mix and then lay the bricks...while adding the edging AFTER laying the bricks..to give it a good hold that is shaped and clean..someone came by and told me to put the edging first...which against my better judgment I went and did. Smh. It was really hard and there was a ton of space between the brick and patio. Ultimately I wanted to find a video of a similar situation to make sure I do it right the first time. I now need to remove the edging and relay the concrete. Ugh. Had I found this before I would have been done. I haven't had enough to afford finishing it and wanted it to be perfect so I could surprise my grandfather. I'm wondering how I may get ahold of you to show you a few photos of what I've done? Please let me know! Thanks so much!

Fucking hell, mate. Why bother with the 45? Looks shit!

quick question: i will be doing the same, but why not use leveling sand like any other pavers installation instead of concrete?

Nice video! If you would wet the side of the brick that will contact the concrete, and maybe, if you are anal as this engineer, brush on some cement on the brick to ensure it is all the crooks and crannies of the the brick, your bricks “never” break bond and come loose.

Nice video. Seems fairly easy to dress up a sidewalk\driveway with a little patience. 5:39 did you break that and leave it in ...tsskk..

Nice video. Using a circular saw (or even a chop saw) with a masonry blade will give you smoother 45 degree angels for those corners. I prefer the chop saw since it cuts in precise angles and I don't have to worry about marking the angles.

I’m sure glad I came across this video. I’m doing my backyard by myself 😅. Great tips! Thanks!

Using a diamond blade instead of a grinding wheel. It’ll make cutting way easier.

Great video but you forgot to show how you finished the lawn side. If you left it as you showed in video grass would never flush up to sidewalk.

Good job. I like how you speed it up a little. Makes it look like you're super fast.

EXCEPTIONALLY BADASS SUPER EXCELLENT VLOG Yo 👍 * * * * * a true 5 star keeper Bud !! Not to mention boosting property value & save on Water(($$$)) + Edging !!! S. W. E. E. T. !!!!👍🇵🇷🗽🐬🙋

First time watching your video, like n sub. Thank you guys really neat work!

Why use concrete and not a rock base with sand?

Thinking of doing a similar strip along my driveway. Do you think it will hold up to the weight of a car? Maybe I'll butter the underside of the bricks with Thinset before setting them in the mud?

one thing do not use any conrete :D brick walkaway you must lay on sand doh, same for side of walkaway. cement will start to crack after time and you will seecrack on sideway too . And you will need to redone all not one tile. You use sand as you need to fix walkaway you just replace one tile and job done.

I’m going to do this but mortar the joints instead.

Im planning on taking some pavers..putting them down on the dirt and slopping concrete in the space between my concrete driveway and 6x6 wood border....I should do a video...this is way too much work...but you done good..i should pay you to do mine.

6:46 lol omg thought that car went into a ditch

I hope you didn't get paid for this.

Is that the only thing that you edge well? 😈

Great stuff any ideas on my natural rockery that I've put together for my flower bed in Swansea UK? Just to keep it intact and solid and in place ? Permasand?

Nice

I would have just dug the trench, laid the bricks and been done :D Looks Nice though

Nice video! I've subscribed :) Volume was a little bit low maybe.

That lovely front path was spoiled by that ugly, old scrapper vehicle opposite... Suggest getting that towed away... 😂

Good luck growing grass next to the pavers with the mound of concrete at the back, you never heard of edging restraint ? A quick tip, switch the hose head to fine spray when activating the joint sand otherwise you blow the sand out of the joints 👍

This is really my favourite Channel! Thanks for your nice Videos, it is very enlightening, Waiting for your latest update. Dean Park Walkway

Sometime later now. Do you still like it, and is there anything you would do differently? Nice job, and thanks for posting. 💋

Great tips on building the foundation with a trench, gravel and sand. I especially like how you used the 4' level to scrape the top smooth before laying the bricks. Most videos show laying and leveling one brick at a time. I like your method better. And congratulation on the upcoming birth of your daughter.

I would have completely cut through the brick with a skill saw and masonry blade... even if I had to turn it over to do the other side. Makes a nice edge.

beat it into submission

Great video and it was an inspiration for a similar project I undertook. What climate zone are you located?

You make me so excited to be a homeowner. I hope I can do projects half as well as you!

Do you have a video on how to lay the driveway?

Great job! Your instructions are very clear and easy to understand. I subbed. Thank you !!

Super video!! Thanks. Love from Scotland, X

NICE WORK!! Nice looking job.

Thank you so much man this is awesome!!

Really enjoyed that - I'm subscribed!!

How much was it?

wetting the bricks first, helps adhesion💪💪💪😆❤️

That was AMAZING!!! I have been waniting to do this with my driveway

Would this process hold up to the weight of a car? I need to enlarge my driveway.

I have a important question...Oh my god, are you married???? nevermind Im too old for you kkkk sorry couldn't avoid the joke. Thank you for the video its just what I was looking for.

Very in formative. Thank for posting.

thanks brother, i wanted to do this for my walkway to my little townhouse..

I WAS YOUR 3,181st SUB!! i also liked the video btw great footage!

This video should work well for my home project. I will use the idea to create a single path walkway from my front door to the end of my yard. Thanks so much.

Concrete seems better then rock and sand. So why don’t more people use that

pouring concret as if hes pissing

Thanks for the video! I have a couple of questions. I've seen edging like this being done with a mixture of paver sand and Portland cement. Do you see any disadvantages of using this mixture vs. a pure concrete mix like you did? Also, do you think adding a plastic edging along the bricks (like you would for a paver walkway) is overkill for this project?

hey, where do I get the black fabric thing-y?What's it called? What's the purpose of it?

did you put cement mix ontop of landscape fabric

The water main. You did not plan something for it? You just left it like that? Why not design the project with it in mind, so the whole thing didn’t end up wrong after all that work?

Could you have it done it without the sub base?

Shlop? That pretty much sums up the whole video

just doing one 45 degree angle connection is going to really bug you or someone that might be looking to buy your place down the road. What about the concrete that got pushed out the side of the bricks towards the lawn?

great job all byot videos are great thanks....

Do a Paver patio 👍

You are awesome very informative thank you 🙏🏻

doing all this nice work in those nice suit shoes lol

Amazing channel

instead it called cement until it dries? then it hardens to become concrete? its confusing.....

Will this method work to make brick paver patio? This method seems much easier to do.

All that work for measly single brick line on either end? Guess i should explore other options since i wanted to do this, 1 foot on both the right and left side of my driveway.

You make it look easy!! Thanks for sharing, and nice job

If I want to lay brick on top of existing concrete, what do I need to do to get a strong bond?

Nice!

good video but put more energy in when you do your intro.. excitment =D like WHAT UP!!! ITS BYOT AND TODAYYYYYYY we are goin!!

4:53 omg ;/

A job I've been meaning to do ... for YEARS ! Great motivation to finally get it done !

can I make an entire walkway of pavers using this method,

Awesome and your house color is my favorite. Go bold or go home!

What kind of blade are you using on that skillsaw?

How to remove dried cement from tiked floor please help me the situation is disastrous

Why did you use polymer sand to fill the gaps instead of the concrete?

That was sooooo cooll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont you think this could have been done with lesser concrete

Just subbed👍👍👍👍👽👽👽👽

eh?

👍

Great job, thanks 👍🏻👍🏻

Great job! Thanks

Great job!

The tape is a good idea. Do you leave the tape on when finished?

Not a walkway, just an edge. Useless.

Exactly what I needed, thanks boss.

make a video of you walking around in those nicely fitted jeans ;-)

Good job!!! I am about to do a walk from my sister's back door to the deck I just built for her would it work if I dug down like 3 inches filled with concrete and lauded brick pavers then fill in cracks with sand concrete mix ???

how much do that cost of it

I was looking for how to repair half a dozen blocks that have come loose from the adhesive below. Is there a tube adhesive or glue alternative that can reattach the pavers to the concrete sub base? Cheers. Nice job by the way.

What the hell is a trustee

I wish I can find you channel way eariler

So impress

Pretty good.

Would you marry me??

Why did you need the concrete?
